Raul Ibanez Not Interested In Interviewing For Managerial Posts

By Jeff Todd | October 7, 2019 at 5:44pm CDT

Long-time big leaguer Raul Ibanez has popped up from time to time as a managerial candidate. But he has thus far declined requests to interview and is doing so again during the current hiring cycle, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Ibanez has come up most recently as a potential Giants target, with Shaikin noting the Cubs as another possible team with interest. But the 47-year-old says it simply “is not the right time” to consider such a committing position.

It seems that Ibanez remains content for the time being continuing to work in the Dodgers front office as a special assistant. That position has allowed him to continue living and working primarily from his home in Miami.

That takes one potentially interesting, fresh managerial candidate out of the picture for the numerous clubs seeking new skippers. Ibanez will surely once again show up on the managerial rumor circuit if and when he gives word that he’d like to take on such a role.

      Poor Raul. I wonder how he sleeps at night knowing that he lacks champion1701’s approval. I hope he seeks counseling.

          wounds heal, but scars only fade

          Well, they heal if you treat them correctly. Otherwise they get infected and will eventually go septic and your own blood will kill you from the inside out.

    Good for Raul.. He gets to go home to his family just about every day. Life on the road is overrated.

    Maybe he’s waiting until Donnie Baseball’s tenure is over.

    He was on a Royals broadcast awhile back and they asked him about it. He said he doesn’t want to travel with a team until his kids get older.

    Ibanez is loved by everyone. He’ll manage soon enough.

    He has 5 kids so it might be a while.

    I just hope he comes home to KC one day.
